SB 1127 makes multiple changes to the regulation and operation of charter schools in Texas. It expands the categories of charter schools to include adult education program charters and clarifies that open-enrollment charter schools are considered local governmental entities for various legal and administrative purposes. The bill also allows charter schools to limit admissions based on a student's biological sex as recorded on their original birth certificate. Additionally, it provides for alternative teacher certification for certain career and technical education courses, permitting non-baccalaureate degree holders to teach in specific fields. It also revises lottery-based admissions, allowing schools to fill spots based on the order applications are received if a lottery is not required​.
